Happy May Day!

It’s Friday, so time for another challenge at QKR Stampede!  Stop by the challenge, which is always “Anything Goes” and several prizes are awarded. Maybe you’ll be inspired to enter a card or two yourself? This week I decided to make a card that features my favorite beverage- coffee! I used a wonderful digital image AND sentiment both from Stamp On It  (Note- Stamp On It is offering a site-wide discount on any products, and free shipping on purchases over $30. Just use discount code WEB2020 at checkout to receive these nice specials!) For my DT card I used a digital image and digital sentiment (both are also available as stamps from the Stamp On It shop) plus a fun upcycled “comfort grip” from a disposable coffee cup!

Supplies: 

·    Image- QKR Stampede (Coffee Grinder Digital Stamp)

·    Front Sentiment- Eureka (Smell the Coffee Digital Stamp)

·    Colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·    Coffee cup images- Chinet Disposable Beverage Cups from our local grocery store

·    Assorted background papers from my stash

Friday also means that I get to share DT cards for the Colour Crazy Challenge. This challenge is also an “Anything Goes” but if adds a requirement- the creation needs to include coloring in “any colouring medium you like, onto any project you like, and in any colours you like.” I’ve never outgrown my love for coloring… which is why making cards is stress therapy for me!!

Our sponsor this week Bugaboo and my DT card features a fun image and sentiment the “Fried Chicken” digi set. I loved coloring the sunbathing diva with Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen.  The background photo is upcycled from an old calendar page.  I made a computer generated sentiment for the inside of the card… which will be sent to someone as a 4^th of July greeting in a few months.  Ahhhh… this year I really can’t wait for summer to arrive. I sure hope we can enjoy some fun times with friends and family by then!

 

Supplies: 

·    Image and sentiment- Bugaboo (Fried Chicken)

·    Colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·    Inside  sentiment- Computer Generated

·    Background papers, upcycled calendar page and patriotic sticker from my stash

Stamplorations- May Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge: Stamps and Tropical  

Since it’s the first of the month, I also get to share my DT card for the May Sheepski Designs Challenge. This month’s theme is “For the Girlz” and what girl doesn’t love mermaids?!  I used a whimsical Sheepski Designs Digi named “Hello.” I love how she is greeting her little friends (although, they aren’t practicing the 6-foot social distance rule. Ha!) I wanted to add some movement to my card, so decided to use a Rocker base (You can find the instructions HERE.) I had fun coloring the image with a rainbow of colors, and added shimmer with an abundance of Stardust Stickles (I love that stuff!)  I was going to use some of my favorite undersea scrapbook paper as the background… but didn’t want to fussy-cut the images… so instead sketched the waves onto my card front and used markers and white gel pens to create the waves featured on the Hobby Lobby paper!
